savs John Wannamaker, one of the largest
advertisers in the world, is like taking
down your sign. Ifyou want to do business
YOU must let the people know it. Standing
advertisements, when changed frequently,
are better and cheaper than reading notices.
They look more substantial and business
like, and inspire confidence. would as
soon think of doing business without CLERKS

stock selling all the week at about the

CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET.

CHICAGO. July l6.-[Special Telegram to
the BEE. NO decided Improvement has
yet entered the wheat market. 1t is still sick,
quite so. The predictions OF roc for August
seem In a fair way TO be verified. Before the
speculative day was ten minutes old the
market was within A.c of it. August opened
at 7U5sc. There were sales sparingly at 7O9lc
and then prices dropped straight to 704c.
The talk in pit centers was on about IL, 900, 900
bushels of old wheat in elevators here, with
the usual set phrases about the country being
on the verge of harvesting a crop of un.
known proportions, but certainly one of the
largest ever known, etc. The receipts today
were only forty.seven cars, Of which forty
three were winter,
Corn was firm though the receipts were 100
cars. August opened at 81 SC and kept close
to SIC for half an hour. Afterwards corn was
strongly bulled on drought" and the
WsSs s"SHs' to SIC AuEus during rms the 0RBeEn Roar
but more deferred futures remained
very, steady. The corn crowd was also TAX
ing light receipts for Monday. Wheat was
corn and partly through the strength contri-
buted by purchases by local scalpers on the
basis of large decrease in next week s
visible.
Short ribs opened at Ss.15. fell to SS.O7b,
and recovered to Ssh. Again there was a
moderate trade in them. Before noon the
AShorts in corn got pretty well filled up, and
yrom 81 the market went back to 81 &c for
August, and stayed there or thereabout with
good deal OF persistency. While August
was making an advance of &c September
only moved sc, proving pretty cOncusvely
that there was a short demand for August
The receipts Monday are estimated at 100
cars. Anything in the shape of general
rain between this time and that will knock
the pins from under prices in very short
order.
The session deyeloped nothing ont of the
ordinary in wheat. After the sales at 7011c
about II o'clock the tendency was to lower
prices though little changed hands after that
time lower than 70ssc. News, either locally
was very little showing of dispatches from
the northwest indicating good progress in
harvesting and fair outcome per acre. At
O'Clock wheat closed at 7o4@70sSc. To
ward the close a heavy tone made itself
manifest in ribs, August being at a stand
still at SS.l23.
